COLFAX GAZETTE, COLFAX, WASHINGTON. JULY 21, 1911.
SUMMER CARE OF
THE FARM TEAM.
Very often on most farms tho team
comes to the rush of spring work in
a soft condition. Though many of us
make an allowance for this condition,
the allowance is not great enough, and
as a result we h;ivt> all sorts of troubles
that lay tlie horses off at a time when
they are most needed. When begin
ning the seasons work, start easy un
til the homes bwoiuc accustonjed to
the strain. Do not begia too early to
increase the ration aud do not increase
it too fast, for you may have some
troubles all of your own. writes C. A
fc'aujrh In ["arm and Fireside
Overhearing is a matter which seri
ously affects the value of your horse
foi yoar own purposes as well as for
sale. Wbeu the horse dors not sweat
readily it is time w> pay some atten
don to his condition. A little "spring
tonic" helps tho horse as well as man

Sore shoulders are another trouble

The curse of the farmer in horses
and cattle is the grade sire and the
lack on our tart of good sound
idons of how to breed good stock.
When a farmer selects a grade sire
it shows at once that he does not
understand the forces he Is dealing
with. Farmers never ought to use
anything but pure bred sires; then
they will have enough poor colts.
To help the blood of the sire they
should grade up their mares as
high as possible by breeding each
generation to pure bred sires.
Where this has been done In any
section they raise an increasing per
centage of iirst class colts. The
illustration shows a pure bred draft

are tender. A poorly tittiny collar
sure to c-anst' its full share of trouble.
A good collar that tits well is a good
investment The use of many cheap.
poorly made cloth collars has nothing
to comineud itself. Many of our best
horsemen will nave nothing bat a
leather cellar on their draft horses. Be
sure that the collars are clean each
morning when the horses go to the
field, and after they have worked a
few hours it is a good plan to lift them
up a little ai ; clean them again. Bath
ing the shoulders at night is an excel
lent practice Some teamsters I know
aiways remove the harness during the
noon hour in order to remove the
strain on the shoulders. Others un
fasten the hames and throw the traces
over the horses' backs. This may all
seem needless, but sore shoulders are
very uncommon with these men. Pre
veution Is far more easy than the
treatment, and this is another matter.
Carrying is :iu important factor in
keeping any horse in condition. 1 have
heard horsemen sny n well groomed
horse can be kept on one-half the feed
required to keep one that is not well
cared for in this respect. Clipping in
the spring helps to make this easier,
as it prevents the hair from forming in
large bunches that are held together
by the excess perspiration. I know a
teaming contractor who would dis
charge his men if he should get his
hand dirty by rubbing it over the backs
of the teams. Currying at night is as
essential as currying in the morning
Too much cannot be said about groom
ing. It is not n simple process of brush
ing off the animal. You cannot do it
in thive minutes. Many well kept
animals are thoroughly curried, thon
brushed with a long filwred brush, cur
ried again and brushed with short,
stiff bristles that are about a* un
yielding as a board. Then they arc
again curried and run over with a
cloth that is sometimes oiled, though
the oil will sooner or later hurt the
gloss of the Iniir. The last process is
what many term a cleaning. Contrast
that with an ordinary currying.
